For cars and motorcycles the speed limits are:

30 miles per hour (mph) in built-up areas, unless a sign shows a different limit
60 mph on single carriageways
70 mph on motorways and dual carriageways

Speed limits are lower for buses, lorries and cars pulling caravans.

It is illegal to drive when you are over the alcohol limit or drunk. The police can stop you and give you a test to see how much alcohol you have in your body. This is called a
breathanalyzer test. If a driver has more than the permitted amount of alcohol (called
being over the limit) or refuses to take the test, he or she will be arrested. People who
drink and drive can expect to be disqualified from driving for a long period.
